Everlasting Road

I am a solitary man traveling on an empty road

My life’s journey has been both hot and cold

I yearn to walk a few more miles by the end of this day

My battered and worn shoes have so very much to say

I survive by myself after all of these long years

My past is filled with disappointments and tears

I have met few along this road who even say “hello”

My disheveled appearance keeps eyes looking low

I look ahead to what this day will offer to me

My weakened eyes make it challenging to see

I would welcome a hot meal and a warm bath

My bag of jerky will need to nourish and last

I feel my energy running low on fuel just the same

My mind tries to stay alert as if playing a new game

I wish to stop by this large sycamore tree

My eyes can rest under its shade for free

I will rest and relax in peace along this quiet road

My journey will soon be finished, yet I remain bold

I will continue my peaceful trek down a lonesome route

My days are numbered, but I remain strong and stout

I am ready to meet my Lord on His faithful terms

His everlasting spirit brings much for me to yearn

    I don’t write much about it but I have not written a word in months because I list part of my. Book to be. I think was good. It was about God’s small and big miracles in my life after I was saved and a few before.
